Windows 7 Pro Deactivation Issues Post Windows 10 Use: Repeated Activation Required

My post will not solve your problem, it will only inform you about membership in the Old Windows Users Club with Problems. I have a similar struggle with the reactivation of computers with XP and W7 at work (one Vista also got it, resignation from W10 is 2 pieces). This seems to be trying to discourage users from doing so.

Of course, an ignorant chick like me is not able to prove the intentional actions of some Unknown Perpetrators. NS have long hands, if they can disable the operation of Symantec Endpoint Protection and some system services that my employer bought, and also block updates. Computers must be present in the network all the time, turned on with only graphics and monitor sleeping.

The logic of events, however, is and remains only conspiracy theories. For example, reactivating the computer seems to be OK. Waiting for delivery of old RAM. After installing the full 2 GB on the second day, the computer does not work. Well, this is not a game of nostalgia - the guy wants to seriously put an old computer into work on public IP addresses.

I can offer you such an attempt - change the hard drive. Create it from scratch partition table and partitions under some non-MS Windows utility. Don't format - let the Windows installer do the formatting. If it is called branded computer, then you will not have a service partition from the manufacturer of the central unit. You may lose some hardware support (example - Lenovo G530 laptop - UEFI functions not working, also hardware buttons). If you have UEFI, then I sneak out with guidance. Install some good antivirus suite - it won't protect, but there may be some reports left.

Hello!
In my opinion, you may have a case where someone is using your key.
Write directly to microsoft or on the forum and let them give you an answer to your problems.
After all, you are entitled to this windows with a sticker.
you can send them a picture of the code of course hide part of the sticker and let them check if it is not so.

Personally, I use windows 10. And I have no big reservations.
I installed windows 10 and then windows 7 and I had no major problems.
The fact that I was using net all the time.
Maybe the problem is with GPT? Install as normal.

I have a G510 and a new second drive. Uefi works, hotkey too.

You won't do anything about it in this case

A photo of the tile, what version W7 exactly

OA this is the OEM version of windows that should have its key in the bios.
In Dell, it is a specially crafted system.
Perhaps in Acer too.

I have one way to deal with such a problem - disable UEFI support in the BIOS and install the seven clean, it is best to reset the beginning of the disk so that it is "like from the factory". It is about removing GPT on the disk, then during the installation it will create an MBR partition system by default and stop clinging to the remnants of the dozen.
